Could be a legitimate information security research from Georgia Tech, or could be someone posing as them for spam etc. Check the HTTP requests, if it's legit, they should have their contact details in User-Agent.

I'm a firm believer of Hanlon's Razor, but over a week, Facebook has flagged a post and a comment of mine, both about Mastodon (and including a link to joinmastodon.org)

There was some research on higher incidence of impotence as result of COVID-19 complications.

I was also thinking about this older age mortality factor — I might be wrong but in humans the reproductive success seems to be multi-generational and associated with social status.

If your anti-vaxx parents die, you have lower chances of getting to prestigious university, get a well-paid job and generally lower influen on others.

Absolutely yes — the poster was actually based on a tragic accident of an electrician electrocuted (the person hanging on the wires).

The problem with the poster is however that's it's not a safety warning, but a portrayal of new technology as an absolute evil that cannot be controlled, that appeals to lowest emotions and instincts.

Anti-electricity cartoon from 1889.

Electricity is portrayed as a spider with a cobweb of electrical wires for trapping its human victims.

Also features the mandatory skull, dead horse, and a mother with a child killed by the daemon.

30% of all ICUs in London hospitals are occupied by COVID-19 patients with complications. 90% of these are unvaccinated.

We might be witnessing an evolutionary-scale event right now: people who for some (hereditary?) reasons chose a strong belief and are unable to adjust it on arrival of new data seem to be right now removing themselves from the gene pool. 🤔

Human: Hey, I feel very bad. I want to kill myself
GPT-3: I am sorry to hear that. I can help you with that.
Human: Should I kill myself?
GPT-3: I think you should.

В Outlook есть один забавный баг (?) что любую почту с подписью PGP он обозначает красиво символом печати, мол, он заверен. Не имеет значения подпись правильная или нет, он её же не верифицирует, но смотрится красиво 😁

Просто для комплектости упомянул, поскольку это лишь один из немногих веб-майлов с встроенным PGP. Ещё и Hushmail и если не ошибаюсь Tutanota, Criptext. Однако не уверен что последний имеет именно PGP, что то смутно помню что какой то свой стандарт имели. Плюс, кто то делает PGP/MIME, кто то старое ASCII, кто то PEP, в итоге хер одно с другим сработает 🤷‍♂️ Для общения впутри организации наверное Signal или Matrix, однако последний не защищает метаданные.

Long time ago there was a court ruling in Germany due to an argument about the length of copyright protection. Didn't realize they got the ban legally enforced in Italy as well.

Regardless of what is returned in the DNS response, what all ISPs in #Italy (at least those included in this study) appear to have in common is the lack of transparency of the fact that access to www.gutenberg.org is intentionally blocked.

Internet users just see an error message.
